I recently bought a iPhone SE and forced myself to use it as my primary phone. This "on Spotify" is really annoying and really summarizes the whole iOS experience. If you dont fully by into their walled garden you will have to deal with a lot of minor annoyances. I was thinking about switching over to Apple Music for a bit to see if I like the whole user experience a bit more even if apple music on its own is inferior.

I’m not sure what part of the service you consider ‘inferior’ to Spotify (I personally dislike Spotify’s UI/UX), but Music’s iOS integration is really great. I can also use it in my android devices and Sonos stuff too.
I also find Music’s professionally-curated playlists (and radio stations now that there are a variety) to be far superior to any algorithm I’ve come across for music discovery.
Yes, this is the difference for me too. Apple's curated playlists look like an actual human made them with some forethought. Spotify's playlists are just autogenerated.
On the other hand Spotify's "Discover Weekly" is vastly superior to Apple Music's "New Music Mix".
Siri support must be new. I don't have CarPlay. I have one of those old school iPod radios. Apple Music's playlists, artists, podcasts, etc all show up fine. Spotify didn't work when I tried it.
